I go by the 1 watt per gallon rule although I'm low on that rule right now. :)

Regardless, more air flow isnt overkill, even if you cant add more oxygen to the water. The extra water flow acts as a free nutrient mixer to keep everything nice and moving around. :) In otherwords, overkill isnt too bad unless its splashing water out of the barrel!! :)

However, lets say your container of size Z with a solution at Y degrees of temperature in it... and has X amount of O2 atoms in it. Then is it not possible that a container of size greater than Z with a solution at Y+1 degrees temperature have X+1 amount of O2 atoms in it?
It's not the total amount of O2 that matters. It is about concentration of O2, hence the PPM designation. In other words, your water is more oxygenated if it has a higher concentration of O2 measured in Part per million. Total amount of O2 is irrelevant.

I think you're overkilling it with 10w/gallon. You can only oxygenate up to MAX 9ppm at 20C water temp anyway. ( not quite right but the right idea) The colder your water, the more O2 it can hold. ( up to the saturation point)

For oxygen, the approximate saturation level at 50° F. is 11.5 mg/l, at 70° F., 9 mg/l, and at 90° F., 7.5 mg/l.

:joint::bigjoint:
My bad, I was off 1.111111111 degrees C in my statement. :roll: But you do make a good point that the nutes in the rez drop the max saturation a little bit.

First, apologies for getting off topic in your journal. Second, that is indeed a good point on the side benefit of air pumps. Still water is not our friend!

No, water is just a double edged sword waiting for us to slip up and slit our own throat :lol: a lot of interesting information here, thanks all.

Not too much time to update today, but here's some pictures from two days ago. They go in order from veg room, to flower room A (week 4) and Flower Room B (week 6).

ALL of the big nugs pictured are Grapefruit Diesel x Hijack. Room B was vegged less than Room A, which is why they look about the same height even 2 weeks of flowering away. I like Room A's larger size than B's.

Sorry for the lack of commentary or making them big pictures, RIU takes too long to work images in threads I've bitched about it forever. :) :)


Thanks everyone!!!

I think you're going to enjoy the results of a longer veg. Flowers look really nice already.

I know she is small and all, but I am pretty sure she will still smash them like I do, they aren't like marbles or anything.
I was just kidding really :lol: I was thinking while I looked at all the plants how much hydroton she had in all, and how much it cost!!! Then I seen it all over the floor and thought damn after dealing with all that hydroton I would never clean that shit up either!!!

I used Hydroton once.......... NEVER AGAIN.
I spent more time cleaning and chasing them around the room than anything else.
Not for me.

hey researchK got any more shrooms going yet?
No........ :( My buyer for them is out of the game for a while, and I dont really know what I'd do with that many mushrooms again. If I do it again, it'd be summer time probably and then only on an automated system with gigantic trays rather than tons of jars.

Oo shrooms :) How hard is it to grow and how fast can they be harvested?
Funny you should ask........ Here's my grow journal for shrooms featuring something like 150 or 200 cakes fruiting at the same time. :)
